The NFL will deliver three good Thanksgiving games for a change.Buffalo (7-3) stayed in Detroit after beating the Browns in Week 11 in a game that was relocated because of snow. The Bills are heavy favorites around MVP candidate Josh Allen, but these might not be the same-old Lions. Detroit (4-6) is on a rare three-game winning streak, and second-year coach Dan Campbell might have a turn-around in the making after all.The Giants (7- Houston Texans T Shirts 3) and Cowboys (7-3) are both two games back of NFC East division leader Philadelphia (9-1), so their rivalry matchup carries on a little more importance this time. New York's Saquon Barkley ranks second in the NFL with 953 rushing yards, but Dallas running back Tony Pollard is moving up that list fast with 701 rushing yards. Those big-play running backs will be the focus.The prime-time matchup features New England (6-4) at Minnesota (8-2). The Vikings have been fortunate in close games this season, and the Patriots are winning with Houston Texans Women Jersey a defense that allows just 16.9 points per game. How will Bill Belichick devise a plan to slow down Minnesota receiver Justin Jefferson?Those are the Thanksgiving storylines on what should be a fantastic slate of games. A look at our track record this season:Record: 96-67-1Here are our picks for the NFL Thanksgiving games ( ):POWER RANKINGS: (Getty Images) Buffalo Bills (-9) at Detroit LionsDetroit has lost on Thanksgiving each of the last four years. The Lions tightened up against the run against the Giants last week, but Allen's mobility is going to be an i sue for this defense. Devin Singletary and James Cook will get in on the action, and that will set up play-action for Buffalo's receivers. Detroit, however, continues to improve around an offense that features a few playmakers in Desmond King II Jersey D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Jared Goff will have a solid game too, but the pre sure of keeping up with Buffalo in the second half will lead to a pair of turnovers. Von Miller chips in a pair of sacks. Buffalo will win, but they will fall to 1-4 ATS on the road.Pick: Bills 34, Lions 27 (Getty Images) New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys (-9)The Cowboys won the first meeting 23-16 in Week 3, but Barkley made an impact. He had 126 total yards and a touchdown, and Daniel Jones was Marlon Mack Jersey working with a limited group of receivers. The lo s of Wan'Dale Robinson (torn ACL) won't help in that regard, and Dak Prescott will be on the field for the rematch. Pollard's emergence in the offense has been a plus. He has averaged 154.7 total yards in the last three games. CeeDee Lamb adds a touchdown. Micah Parsons, who was quiet in the first meeting, makes his presence felt, too. The Cowboys break a three-game losing streak on Thanksgiving.Pick: Cowboys 30, Giants 20 (Getty Images) New England Patriots at Minnesota Vikings (-3)Kirk Cousins is in prime time, and the Vikings are looking to bounce back from a 40-3 blowout lo s to the Cowboys. Cousins has started twice against the Patriots (once with Washington and once with Minnesota) and his teams averaged 10 points in those lo ses. The Patriots are winning with a defense that has allowed just 23 points over the last three weeks, and Matt Judon has 4.5 sacks in that stretch. Minnesota has to get off to a fast start, but Belichick will try to take away Justin Jefferson, but will it work? The Patriots have not been great on offense. Mac Jones has taken 16 sacks the last three weeks. Its tempting to pick New England here, but Dalvin Cook gets Minnesotas offense going Davion Davis Jersey and Cousins does not make the big mistake.Pick: Vikings 22, Patriots 19
